FISSLER BLUE-POINT
• Do not use this pressure cooker for
pressure frying with oil. When used
for deep-frying, fill the pressure cook-
er only to half its capacity with oil,
and do not cover it. See “Chapter 7”.
• When the normal operating pressure
is reached, turn the heat down so all
the liquid, which creates the steam,
does not evaporate. Reduced liquid
might affect the cooking times.
Cooking without any liquid might
damage cooker and hob.
• Only use the pressure cooker with the
heat sources described in this user
manual (see chapter 2).
• Pressure cookers may not be used for
medical purposes, such as sterilisa-
tion, as they are not designed to reach
temperature levels required for steril-
isation.
• Do not in any way alter or interfere
with the safety mechanisms, except to
carry out maintenance tasks described
in the instructions for use. Do not
repair or oil the valves! Use only orig-
inal Fissler replacement parts that fit
your cooker model (see chapter 11) to
ensure that it will function properly
and safely.
• Replace wear and tear parts such as
the rubber gasket, the O-ring of the
valve base and the O-ring of the
Euromatic approx. every 400 cooking
cycles, or latest after two years with
original Fissler parts. Parts that show
visible damage (cracks, deformation)
or discoloration, or that have become
brittle must be replaced without delay.
Non-compliance can seriously com-
promise the performance and safety of
the cooker.
• Never install parts from other manu-
facturers in your Fissler pressure
cooker.
• Ensure that you only use your Fissler
pressure cooker with the Fissler pres-
sure cooker lid of the same model.
• Never heat up your pressure cooker
without adding liquid, as this could
result in damage to the cooker or the
hob from overheating. In certain
extreme cases of overheating, the alu-
minium in the base may melt and liq-
uefy. In the event of such overheating,
never remove the cooker from the
hob: otherwise, there is a risk of burns
caused by hot aluminium spillage.
Switch off the hob and allow the pres-
sure cooker to cool down. Ventilate the
room.
